The importance of regular website maintenance and updates
For safeguarding and public sector organisations, a website is more than just an online presence—it’s a vital communication tool, an information hub, and often the first point of contact for stakeholders. At Phew, we’ve seen firsthand how a well-maintained website can transform an organisation’s ability to share information and engage effectively with its audience. However, launching a great website is just the beginning. Regular maintenance and updates are the unsung heroes of a successful online strategy.
Ensuring accessibility and compliance
Web accessibility standards are constantly evolving, and it’s crucial to keep your website compliant. At Phew, we guarantee that your website complies with accessibility standards upon launch, providing an inclusive experience for all visitors. Our ongoing support ensures your site remains compliant, enhancing usability and reach for all users. Regular updates allow us to implement the latest accessibility features and maintain compliance with current standards.
Keeping content fresh and relevant
Outdated content can negatively impact your website’s credibility and user experience. Our content update reminder feature enables admins to set revision dates for content, triggering email reminders as the date approaches. This prompts timely updates, ensuring your website content remains current and relevant, thus improving the overall user experience.
Optimising performance and user experience
Regular maintenance allows us to optimise your website’s performance, ensuring fast loading times and smooth functionality across all devices. With our flexible content blocks, you can easily make changes to keep your site looking great on any device. This responsiveness is crucial for maintaining a positive user experience and keeping visitors engaged.
Enhancing security
Cyber threats are constantly evolving, and regular updates are essential to protect your website and user data from potential vulnerabilities. By keeping your website’s core systems, plugins, and themes up-to-date, we help safeguard your online presence against security risks.
Improving SEO performance
Search engines favour websites that are regularly updated with fresh, relevant content. Our monthly detailed analytics reports provide valuable insights into your website’s performance, allowing you to make informed decisions about content strategy and SEO improvements.
Integrating new features and functionality
As technology advances, new features and functionalities become available. Regular updates allow us to integrate these innovations into your website, keeping it modern and competitive. For instance, our seamless newsletter integration tool allows admin users to send email newsletters directly from the website, streamlining your communication process.
Ensuring compatibility
With new browsers, devices, and technologies constantly emerging, regular maintenance ensures your website remains compatible across various platforms. This compatibility is crucial for providing a consistent user experience to all visitors, regardless of how they access your site.
At Phew, we understand that your website is a vital tool for information sharing and stakeholder engagement. Regular maintenance and updates are not just about fixing what’s broken – they’re about continuously improving and evolving your online presence to meet the changing needs of your audience.
